FANCY FREE 



The writing-room of the Hotel Cosmopolitan is. a tall, 
handsome apartment, exquisitely furnished. The 
great fire-place faces the spectator, with a lounge chair 
on each side. Near him, on his left, is a double 
writing-talU containing two desks opposite one 
another. Chairs face each desk. Still further left 
is a settee against the wall. On his right a settee 
placed at right angles to the wall, a small low tahle^ 
and a low padded armchair. There is a'tother writ- 
ing-table on the right of the fireplace, and a book-case 
on the left. The two entrances, each with double 
doors, are set diagonally a:ross the two visible corners 
of the room, one right and one left. 

The fire is burning, and the electric lights are on. 
It is a little after ten o'clock. 

Fancy, in an evening goivn, is sitting on the right hand 
of the double desk, trying to compose a letter. She is 
petite, dark and pretty. Alfred comes in from the 
left in evening dress. He is tall, fair, clean-shaven 
and handsome. 

Fancy (looking up). Well ? 

Alfred. I find that the last post goes at midnight. 
It is now exactly a quarter-past ten. 

Fancy. Then I have still an hour and three- 
quarters in which to finish the letter.

(Alfred kneels on the chair on the other side of the 
double desk and watches Fancy.) 

Alfred. I am disappointed in you, Fancy. I 
knew that I should be disappointed in you some day, 
but I did not expect it to come so soon. 

Fancy. My dear Alfred, pray do not forget that 
this is no ordinary letter. 

Alfred. It ought not to be so difficult to tell 
one's husband that one has run away from him. 

Fancy. But I have had so little experience. I 
daresay I shall improve with practice. 

Alfred. How far have you got ? 

Fancy. Fll read it to you. " Darliag Ethel- 
bert " 

Alfred. Stop ! Ought you to call him darling 
now ? . • 

Fancy. Why not ? 

Alfred. A sensitive mind might detect some- 
thing inappropriate in the adjective. 

Fancy. I always call him darling when I write to 
him. I feel sure he would feel hurt if I omitted to 
do so on this occasion. Besides, I am still very fond 
of him. 

Alfred. Perhaps you are right. We cannot too 
scrupulously avoid wounding him. 

Fancy (reading). " Darling Ethelbert, 

" You will be interested to hear that since you 
went to Scotland on Thursday last I have decided 
to run away with Alfred. You cannot have for- 
gotten the promises we made each other on our 
wedding-day. I am not referring to those we 
made publich^ during the marriage ceremony, 
but to our private understanding that each 
should be entirely free and untrammelled pro- 
vided that the other's health and comfort was 
not interfered with. You will understand, there- 
fore, that in leaving you and going aWay with 



FANCY FREE 9 

Alfred I am doing nothing that is contrary to our 
agreement. You would have been entitled to 
complain only if I had insisted on bringing Alfred 
home with me." 
That's logic, isn't it ? 

Alfred. Yes. Feminine logic. 

Fancy. That is all Ethelbert has any right to 
expect from me. 

Alfred. How do you proceed ? 

Fancy. I don't. That is the diffi.3ulty. 

Alfred. At any rate, Fancy, you have made it 
clear to Ethelbert that you have left him. That is 
all that is essential. You have only to wind up now. 

Fancy. How ? " Yours faithfully " ? 

Alfred. Why not " Yours formerly " ? 

Fancy. But I am afraid that is too abrupt. 
Ethelbert is so sensitive. I should like to wind up 
with something kind. 

Alfred. Let me see. " You will be glad to hear 
that we are having an awfully jolly time here." 

Fancy. I doubt whether Ethelbert would be glad 
to hear it. 

Alfred. Then something chatty or discursive. 
" The Cosmopolitan is an exceedingly nice hotel. It 
contains no fewer than 250 bedrooms, each elabor- 
ately furnished with all modern conveniences." 

Fancy. Ethelbert will hardly care for such details. 
Besides, I do not consider that the Cosmopolitan is 
such a nice hotel. 

Alfred. It is an exceedingly expensive one. 
Let us endeavour to extract as much enjoyment out 
of it as possible. 

Fancy. I am sure that I should have preferred 
the Grand Rendevous. 

Alfred. The Grand Rendevous is, if possible, still 
more expensive. 

Fancy. What does that matter ? 

Alfred. To you, little or nothing. It is I who 
have to pay the biH.

Fancy. Alfred, you have the soul of a stockbroker. 

Alfred. Do not flatter me. I have sometimes 
hoped I had. 

Fancy. If I had realized how useless you would 
be in an emergency, I doubt whether I should have 
run away with you. 

Alfred. My dear Fancy, I did not nm away with 
you in order to conduct your correspondence. You 
should have advertised for a private secretary. I 
had hoped to be something more to you than that. 

Fancy {rising). I shall go to my room. It is 
quite impossible for me to finish this letter here. 

Alfred Why ? 

Fancy. This room is far too crowded. 

Alfred. This is not a quarrel, I tiTist, Fancy. 

Fancy. Certainly not. I hope I have too much 
tact to quarrel with you on the first day of our elope- 
ment. 

(Fancy goes to the door with her letter.) 

Alfred. When may I expect to see you again ? 
Fancy. The last post goes at midnight. 

(Fancy ^oes out l. Hardly has she gone than Ethel- 
bert tomes in r. He is a good-looking, dark man, 
in evening dress.) 

Alfred (thunderstruck). Ethelbert ! 

Ethelbert. Alfred ! 

Alfred. My dear fellow. 

Ethelbert. How are you, old chap ? 

Alfred. What brings you here ? I understood 
you were travelling on business. 

Ethelbert. So I am. Extremely private busi- 
ness. 

Alfred. How singular that we should meet. 

Ethelbert. Are you here on business too ?. 

Alfred. Er — yes. Extremely private business 
also. 



FANCY FREE 11 

Ethelbert, Come. Let us sit down and talk. 
(He sits in the armchair R. of the fire.) 

Alfred. With pleasure. But do not let us talk 
here. 

Ethelbert. Why not ? 

Alfred. This is an exceedingly dull room. 

Ethelbert. It is a very charming room. 

Alfred. But I assure you, I have been here quite 
half an hour, and nothing whatever has happened. 

Ethelbert. Then we can talk the more comfort- 
ably. 

(Alfred sits down reluctantly.) 

Alfred. Where were you going when you came 
in here ? 

Ethelbert. I was looking for the American Bar. 

Alfred. Excellent ! We will go and look for it 
together. (He rises.) 

Ethelbert. Presently. Ther.e is no hurry. 
(Alfred sits down.) 

Alfred (yaimiing). Do you know, Ethelbert, I 
feel I ought to be getting to bed. 

Ethelbert. Bed ? Why, it is only half -past ten. 

Alfred. I promised my mother, before she died, 
that whenever practicable I would be in bed by half- 
past ten. 

Ethelbert. But I want to talk to you a bout 
Fancy. 

Alfred. About Fancy ! Do you think you ought 
to talk to me about Fancy ? The relations ofa hus- 
band and wife should be sacred, surely. 

Ethelbert. I want to ask your advice, Alfred, 
I have begun to suspect that Fancy is growing tired 
of me. 

Alfred [looking at his imtch). I must positively 
be in bed before ten o'clock 



12 J*ANCY FREE 

Ethelbert. Why does a woman grow tired of a 



man .'' 

Alfred. Because the last post goes at midnight. 

Ethelbert. No. Because she prefers somebody 
else. 

Alfred, (interested) Do you suspect that Fancy 
is in love with somebody else ? 

EthFlbert. I do. 

Alfred. Who is he ? 

Ethelbert. I have no idea. I wish I had. 

Alfred. Don't you think you will be much 
happier if you remain in ignorance ? 

Ethelbert. Oh, I am not thinking of myself. I 
am thinking of him. 

Alfred. Indeed. 

Ethelbert. Yes. I should like to warn him. 

Alfred. To warn him ? 

Ethelbert. I'm afraid she'll be running away 
with the poor fellow. 

Alfred (uneasily?). Why do you call him a poor 
fellow ? 

Ethelbert. Fancy is so terribly extravagant. 
She spends money like water, especially when it is 
not her own. 

Alfred (unthinkingly). Have you found that out, 
too ? 

Ethelbert. Of course I've found it out, and so 
would you if you had been married to her as long as I 
have. Candidly, I'm afraid Fancy will run the 
poor fellow. 

Alfred. What has that to do with you ? 

Ethelbert. I hope I am a humane person, 
Alfred. I would not willingly see my worst enemy 
reduced to the workhouse, and this poor fellow may 
be one of my friends. I should be intensely sorry if 
one of my friends ruined himself for the sake of my 
wife. I can assure you that she is not worth it. In 
my experience, very few women are. 

Alfred. Ethelbert, forgive me if I p^mt out that 



FANCY FREE 13 

you are not looking at this affair in the proper way. 

Ethelbert. Indeed ? In what way do you con- 
sider that I ought to look at it ? 

Alfred. Do you mean to say that 3"ou are not 
indignant at the idea of another man eloping with 
your wife ? 

Ethelbert. Not in the least. 

Alfred (wannlv). Then you ought to be, that's 
all. 

Ethelbert. When I married Fancy we arranged 
to leave each other absolutely free. I am a gentle- 
man, Alfred, you would not have me break my word. 

Alfred. But it is quite inconceivable ! You 
are without any sense of moral responsibility. You 
ought to be ashamed of yourself. 

Ethelbert. I very often am. Aren't 3^ou ? 

Alfred. Certainly not. I regulate my life, I 
am thankful to say, by a strict rule of conduct, which 
I observe as closely as possible. If I have lapses, so 
much the worse. Thev are regrettable, but not un- 
natural. At any rate, I have the immense consolation 
of knowing that my principles are not lax, but that 
I have merely failed to adhere to them for once in a 
way. 

Ethelbert. Believe me, Alfred, it is a mistake 
to have too many principles. 

Alfred. Why ? 

Ethelbert. Because if you have too many it is 
quite impossible to stick to them all. I content my- 
self with one only. 

Alfred. What is that ? 

Ethelbert. Never be a hypacrite. It is an 
excellent maxim. It permits you to do whatever you 
please, provided you don't pretend you are not doing 
it. I advise you to adopt it and to drop all your other 
principles. 

Alfred. Do you insinuate that I am a h^-pocrite ? 

Ethelbert. Not at all. 

Alfred. Then you are wrong. I am. 



i4 FANCY FREE 

Etheleert. Really ? You grow more interest- 
ing every day. 

Alfred. JPlease do not flatter me. I am con- 
scious that I do not deserve it. Ethelbert, your de- 
plorable views about morality have awakened my 
conscience. I must conceal the truth from you no 
longer. Besides, I think it is extremely probable 
that you would have found it out in any case very 
shortly. 

Ethelbert. What do you mean ? 

Alfred. I knew, all the time, that Fancy was in 
love with another man. 

Ethelbert. How ? 

Alfred. Because I am that other man. 

Ethelbert. You don't say so. Permit me to 
offer you my sincere condolences. 

Alfred. Thank you. 

(They shake hands gravely.) 

Ethelbert. How fortunate that I should be able 
to warn you before it is too late. 

Alfred. Ethelbert, you must know all. It is too 
late. I have already run away v^ith your wife. 

Ethelbert Already ! When did it happen ? 

Alfred. This morning. 

Ethelbert. This morning ? Then 

Alfred. Yes. You are right. Fancy is actually 
in this hotel at the present moment. 

Ethelbert. Upon my soul, Alfred, this is most 
unfriendly of you. 

Alfred. Go on. I am conscious that I merit all 
your reproaches. 

Ethelbert. I call it grossly indehcate to bring 
Fancy to the very hotel in which I am staying. 

Alfred. But, hang it all, we did not know that you 
were staying here. You don't suppose we chose it 
for that reason, do you ? We thought you were in 
Scotland. 



FANCY FREE 15 

Ethelbert. Ah, true. I did go to Scotland. I 
spoke without reflecting. I beg your pardon, Alfred. 
' Alfred (politely). Not at all. 

(A pause.) 

Ethelbert. Well, and how do you get on with 
Fancy ? 

Alfred. I hardly think I am justified in venturing 
upon an opinion upon such a slight acquaintance. 

Ethelbert. I wonder if I may presume to offer 
you some advice ? 

Alfred. By all means. 

Ethelbert. If you are going to succeed in manag- 
ing Fancy you will have to put your foot down at 
once. 

i\LFRED. Put my foot down ? 

Ethelbert. How much have you spent to-day ? 

Alfred. About seven hundred and fifty pounds. 

Ethelbert. I thought so. 

Alfred. Fancy bought a motor-car this afternoon. 

Ethelbert. She will buy another to-morrow. 

Alfred. But I can't afford it. How did you 
succeed in curbing her extravagance ? 

Ethelbert. I threatened to advertise in the 
papers that I should not be responsible for any debts 
contracted by my wife. 

Alfred. Since she is not my wife I can hardly do 
that, can I ? 

Ethelbert. You might advertise that you will 
not be responsible for any debts contracted by my 
wife. 

Alfred. Don't you think that would be a httle 
pointed ? 

Ethelbert. Perhaps it would. 

Alfred. No, Ethelbert, there is only one way out 
of the difficulty. I will resign Fancy to you. 

Ethelbert. Not on any account. 

Alfred (rising). Yes. I cannot allow you to 



16 FANCY FRRE 

outbid me in generosity. I will go and find her and 
bring her to you. 

Ethelbert {rising). For Heaven's sake, don't 
tell my wife I am staying here. 

Alfred. Why not ? 

Ethelbert. Because I am not alone. 

Alfred. Not alone ? 

Ethelbert. Her name is Delia. 

Alfred (indignantly). Ethelbert ! 

Ethelbert. Well, Alfred ? 

Alfred. You shock me, gravely. 

Ethelbert. You are very thin-skinned. Have 
you already forgotten what errand brought you to 
this hotel ? 

Alfred {with dignity). There is no reason why 
you should make my lapse an excuse for your own. 
Have you thought of your wife ? 

Ethelbert. She need never know, unless you 
tell her. 

Alfred. I thought you said that Fancy and you 
agreed to leave each other entirely free. 

Ethelbert. We gave each other our word of 
honour. 

Alfred. Then v/hy do you wish to hide the truth 
from her ? 

Ethelbert. Fancy is not a gentleman. She is 
a woman. She does not understand the meaning oi 
honour. 

Alfred. You are trifling. I regret to say, 
Ethelbert, that I shall consider it my duty to inform 
your wife immediately of the whole deplorable 
business. 

Ethelbert. So be it. Far be it from me to try 
and induie yju to act contrary to the dictates of your 
conscience. 

(Fancy comes in l. with a letter.) 

Fancy. Ethelbert ! 



r\^CY FREE 17 

Ethelbert. Fancy. 

Fancy. How fortunate 1 I can give you this 
letter now. That will save a penny stamp. 

Ethelbert. Thank you. I will destroy the 
letter. {He tears it and throws it in the fire.) 

Fancy. Oh, why did you do that ? It took me 
such a long time to write. 

Ethelbert. I am already aware of its contents. 

Fancy. You have told him, Alfred ? 

Alfred. Yes. 

Fancy. Then, Etlielbert, may I ask what you are 
doing here ? I consider it grossly indelicate of you 
to follow us about like this. You wouldn't like it 
yourself. 

Alfred. Ethelbert has not followed us. He has 
come here for a reason of his own. 

Fancy. A reason of his own ? 

Alfred. Yes. How can I tell you ? (.4 pause.) 
Her name is Delia. 

Fancy. Oh ! Oh ! Ethelbert, how dare you ? 

Ethelbert. My dear Fancy, you remember what 
we arranged. 

Fancy. I don't care what we arranged. You 
have had the bad taste to prefer another woman to 
me. I shall never forgive you. 

Ethelbert. But Fancy, listen. 

Fancy. I shall not hsten. I don't want to hear 
a single word about her. Where did you meet her ? 

Ethelbert. She was staying at my hotel in 
Edinburgh. 

Fancy. That was no reason why you should have 
spoken to her. 

Ethelbert. I didn't. She spoke to me. We were 
sitting at adjoining tables in the Winter Garden. 

Fancy. She dropped a glove ? A handkerchief ? 

Ethelbert. How did you know that ? 

Fancy. Never mind. 

Ethelbert. Of course I picked it up. 

Fancy. And what did she say to you ? 



18 FANCY FREl^ 

Ethelbert. She said, " Do you know, you've got 
the most dehghtfully wicked eyes." That was how it 
began. 

(Delia comes in r. She is a tall, gorgeously-drsssei 
and beautiful wom^n, ivith a miss of red-goli hiir.) 

Delia (in a fitrv). Really, Bertie, this is too bad. 
I've been looking for you all over the hotel. 

Alfred. This, I presume, is the lady in question. 

Ethelbert. My dear DeUa, I am exceedingly 
sorry that I have been detained, but this lady is ari 
old acquaintance of mine. She is, in fact, my wife. 

Delia. Indeed. (To Fancy.) So you are his 
wife ? 

Fancy. As it happens. 

Delia. I am very glad to meet you, if only to have 
the opportunity of complaining aboiit the way you 
have trained your husband. 

Fancy. I did not train him. 

Delia. That is, just what I complain about. 
Under the circumstances I can forgive his leaving 
me alone in the Lounge of a strange hotel, but his 
table manners are frankly uncivilized, Do you know 
that he reads the morning paper during breakfast ? 

Fancy. He never does so at horne. 

Delia. You miist not expect to make me beUeve 
that. 

FANCY. But it is perfectly true. During break- 
fast I always read the morning paper myself. 

Delia. Ah, no doubt in self-defence. 

Fancy. Not at all. 

Delia. I suppose one can become inured to any- 
thing, in time, even to Bertie's light breakfast 
conversation. 

Fancy. That shows how superficial your acquaint- 
ance with Ethelbert is. I like his breakfast conver- 
sation because he goes on talking without stopping* 
Consequently, it is not necessary for me to pay any 



FANCY FREE 19 

attention to him, and lean read the morning papar 
in peace. 

Ethelbert. This is most unkind of you both. 
My hght breakfast conversation has always been 
much admired, especially by ladies. (To Delia.) 
I am sure you will alter your opinion if you will only 
do nie the favour, Delia, of listening a little more care- 
fully to-morrow morning. 

Fancy. Certainly not., 

Ethelbert. I beg your pardon ? 

Fancy. She will have no opportunity of hsteriing 
fo you more carefully. 

Ethelbert. Why not ? 
. Fancy. ^ Because yoii will breakfast with me to- 
morrow morning. 

Ethelbert. Oh, very weU, then perhaps you will 
do me the favour of listening more carefully. 

Fancy. I fancy that during breakfast to-morrow 
you will be fully occupied in Ustening to me, for once 
in a way. I do not think that I shall have sufficient 
time to say all I wish to say to you to-night. You 
have provided me with a very fruitful topic. 

Ethelbert. But, my dear Fancy, I -fear we can 
hardly pursue it to-night. We both appear to have 
previous engagements. 

Delia [to Ethelbert). You Have no previous 
engagement. 

Ethelbert. Deha ! 

Delia. It is cancelled. 

Ethelbert. You are cruel, Delia. -; 

Dell\. It is your own fault. How can you expect 
any self-respecting woman to put up with the treat- 
ment I have received from vou ? 

Fancy. May I ask what"' further complaint you 
have to make about my husband ? 

Delia. He has no sense of decency. I consider 
it grossly indehcate of him to bring me to this hotel 
whilst you are stopping here. I have never been 
treated in such a manner before.

Fancy. I think you take a very proper view of the 
affair. Ethe'bert ought to be thoroughly ashamed 
of himself. 

Delia. Good-bye, Bertie. (She holds out her 
ha: d.) I shall never listen to your light breakfast 
conversation again. 

Fancy. And good-bye, Alfred. (She holds out her 
hand.) My only regret is that I shall never know 
what your light breakfast conversation is like. 

Alfred. Don't say that. Fancy. Why shouldn't 
we all four have breakfast together in the morning ? 

Delia. No. I am sorry, but I must draw the hne 
somewhere. 

Fancy. You are right. You have the most perfect 
taste. I am beginning to admire you immensely. 
Good-bye. 

Delia. Good-bye. 

Fancy. Good-night, Alfred. 

Alfred. Good-night, Fancy. 

Fancy. Come, Ethelbert. (She takes his arm.) 

Ethelbert (to Delia aw^ Alfred). Good-night. 

(Fancy and Ethelbert go out l. A pause.) 

Delia (raising her eyebrows). Well ? 

Alfred. Well ? 

Delia. And what do we do now ? 

Alfred. Would you like some supper ? 

Delia. No, thanks. (She sits in an armchair by 
the fire.) You may order me some champagne if you 
hke. 

Alfred. Wilhngly.
